During 2017, the Foundation worked closely with the media to inform society about its activities, awards and publications.

Q&A communications agency provides the Foundation with support in the sphere of media relations and press monitoring. Articles mentioning the Foundation can be viewed in the press cuttings Library section on the website. The Foundation has a licence from Cedro, a body that manages authors' rights in books, journals and other media, authorizing it to publish press cuttings from the previous three months.

WEBSITE AND NEWSLETTERS In 2017, the Foundation website received an average of 1,450 visits per month, a slight decline compared to previous years, as a result of the increasing diversification of communication channels.
